COMBINATION-TOOL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 271,868, dated February'G, 1883.

Application filed May 27, 1882. (Model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be itknown that I, HARRY U. KISTNER, of Bordent-own, in the county of Burlington and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and Improved Combination-Tool, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The invention relates to a skate-sharpener, formedof certain devices applied to a handle in such a manner asto adapt them to also subserve other functions, as hereinafter described.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying.

drawings, forming partof this specification, in which similar letters of referenceindicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a longitudinal elevation of the tool, parts being broken out and in section. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal elevation of the same, showing one jaw reversed to be used as a sawset. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the upper side of the same. Fig. 4 is a plan View of the under side of the same. Fig. 5 is an enlarged crosssectional elevation of the end block on the line a; m, Fig. 1.

The metal handle or body A of the combination-tool has one end tapered, and provided in the end with a squared aperture, B, to be used as a nut-key. In its under surface it is provided with a longitudinal recess, 0,0011- taining a corkscrew, D, a gimlet, D{, and a screw-driver, D which have squared inner ends and are pivoted to the handle at their inner ends. In its upper surface the handle is provided with a transverse groove, E, containing a piece, E, of a file, which is flush with the upper surface of the handle, or projects but slightly. A movable jaw, F, having its end beveled, is held to the upper side of the handleA by athum b-screw, G, passing through an L-shaped slot, I, in thejaw F into the handle. If this jaw F is moved laterally it forms a recess between the side of the same and the side ridge, to, of the handle, through which re cess a skate-runner that is to be sharpened by the file K, which is secured as hereinafter described, can be moved to and fro. The end of the jaw F is beveled, and against it a scissorblade, 01, that is to be sharpened, is placed, theblade beingmoved forward and backward transversely to the handle A. As the scissorblade is held beveled, the cutting-edge formed will be beveled. The jawF can be adjusted not all be sharpened by the same part of the file. When the jaw F is loosened one of the pivoted implements in the recess (1 in the under surface of the handle can be swung outward, and can be locked in this position by locking the jaw on the handle by means of the thumb-screwG. The squared ends of the pivoted implements or bits rest against the inner surface of the jaw F. The jaw also locks the implements or bits in place when they are folded in the recess. A fixed jaw, H, is formed on the under surface of the handle, and a slidingjaw, J, is held on the under surface of the handle by a thumb-screw, R, passing through a longitudinal slot, R, of the jaw. A piece, K, of a file is held in a recess, K, below the jaw H. If the jaw J is held a short distance from the jaw H, a saw can be passed into the space between the two jaws, and the ends of the teeth of the saw can be evened by passing the saw forward and backward. The jaw J is provided on its inner side with a longitudinal groove, into which a longitudinal ridge on the outer surface of the handle A passes to guide this jaw in its longitudinal movements. The upper side of file K is flush with the bed of the groove between jaw F and ridge a, in which the skate-runner is reciprocated for the purpose of sharpening it by the abrading action of said file. The latter thus subserves two functions, and the jaw H is not only necessary as a means of holding it in place, but serves as a guide for the saw in the operation ofjointing the same. The handle is provided at its rear end with a projection, L, having a beveled tongue, L, projecting in the same direction as the jaw H. A block, M, having one end formed triangularly, is held on the end of the projection L by a thumb-screw, N, passing through the block parallel with the triangular sides. A notch or recess, g, is formed at the lower end of each of the triangle sides of the block M, each recess or notch being of a different depth and width. If'a saw-tooth is placed into one of the recesses it will be held between the lower end of the block M and the tongue L, audit can be set or adjusted, asshown in dotted lines in Fig. 2. The jaw J is reversed in its position in relation to the jaw El, and serves as a check for bending'the saw-teeth. The'diflongitudinally, so that the scissor-blades will I ferent depths and Widths of tlIE DOtChQS or recesses 9 correspond to the different heights and thicknesses of the saw-teeth. A glasscutter, P, of some suitable construction, is attached to the block M opposite the triangle end. The jaw J and its locking-screw R assistin holding the piece of file K in its recess.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a combination-tool, the combination, with the handle A, having files E and K, lo-

' 'cated as specified, of the laterally and longitudinally adjustablejmv F and a clamp-screw therefor, all substantially as shown and' described.

2. In a combination-tool, the combination of the jaw'F, having the L-shaped slot I, with the handle A, having the scissors-file E and saw-file K and the clamp-screw G, as shown 20 and described.

3. In a combination-tool, the combination, with the handle provided-with a recess, 0, oi the pivoted implementsD D Dfihavingsquared innerends,theadjustablejawF,andthethumb- 25 screw G, substantially as herein shown and de-' scribed, and for the purpose set forth.

4. In a combination-tool, the combination, with the'handle A, provided with a jaw, H, of the movable jaw J, provided with a slot, R, 0 the thumb-screw R, and the file K under the jaw H, substantially as herein shown and de scribed, and for the purpose set forth.
